'... she would not be hungry'.

The underlined word is a/an __________.

  • A.Preposition
  • B.Adverb
  • C.Conjunction
  • D.Interjection

Answer: B

The word 'not' is an Adverb.

'Not' modifies the verb phrase 'would be hungry', turning it into the negative. Words that modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs are adverbs, and 'not' is the commonest adverb of negation.

A preposition links a noun to the rest of a sentence, a conjunction joins words or clauses, and an interjection expresses sudden feeling ('Oh!'); 'not' does none of these.
